The purpose of blogging?

Just finished Music Appreciation Midterm. It wasn't the most difficult, but it could have been better. What the heck.

Many people have asked why I don't post personal feelings and comments on this blog. Apparently, I'm too neutral or conventional. Well, I actually treat this blog like my personal website, like my own Geocities. As such, I prefer to blog about subjects such as games and movies as they are detached from my personal life. Besides that, I am still uncomfortable with the idea of publicly declaring my opinions, thoughts, feelings and personality.

Should I open up? Do tell.

There She Is!!

Happy Valentine's Day! I found a perfect cartoon to watch during this annual celebration.

Two years ago, I came across a fantastic Flash animation called "There She Is!!", produced by South Korean animation trio, SamBakZa. The three artists, Amalloc (아말록), SongSongHwa (송송화), and Sogong (소공), have masterfully crafted a beautiful, funny, touching, and creative series about a cat and a rabbit falling in love. Yes, it's odd, but to all of us who grew up with Disney, we should be used to it by now.

Having faithfully followed the cartoon over nearly two years, I must say that this show will remain in my mind as one of the best examples of the capabilities of Flash Animation, and is simply timeless. I laughed, cried (well, nearly, anyway), and fell in love with the series. Besides that, like any good show, it has a clear message underneath the cuteness. See if you can spot it!

Thankfully, SamBakZa, besides being remarkably talented, are also generous enough to allow their shows to be displayed on blogs (which is more than I can say for other animators).

So, I urge you, to please load each of these and watch them in order. You won't regret it. Trust me, and Happy Valentine's Day!
